Inclusive Eye Gaze: Choosing and Learning

18 activities designed to prepare eye gaze users for further communication and learning activities by developing choice making and access skills

This collection takes children on the learning curve from assessment and cause and effect understanding through to using eye gaze for communication, learning and leisure.

Inclusive Eye Gaze can be used by teachers and therapists as an assessment tool to determine visual skills and potential use of eye gaze and as a progressive teaching tool that provides structure and lots of opportunities for practice at each level.

All children on their first steps with eye gaze can use these activities to improve their accuracy and understanding of eye gaze in preparation for using other communication and learning software.

By using relevant vocabulary, pictures and sounds and lots of variety, the activities will also offer many opportunities for children with additional needs to develop early interaction, communication and learning skills.

Most importantly, we hope that our carefully chosen activities will ensure success and motivation at each stage with games that children will love and want to play again and again.
